News Literacy At Work

The Stony Brook model of News Literacy has been adopted by teachers, professors, librarians, and educators of all types around the world. Here are a few examples of those programs. 


News Literacy at New York City's IS303: 

At I.S. 303, in Brooklyn, New York, students are learning to think critically about the information they come across. The Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University, in New York, provides training and support to teachers at the school.

This same program was also profiled by the New York Times in 2017.
 

 

 


Teacher Training as Part of Civics Education in Chicago

Amid growing concerns that students have difficulty discerning between misleading and reliable news and information, some media literacy groups are ramping up training for teachers and providing strategies and resources for media literacy lessons.
